Philodendron × mandaianum 'Ruby' – Hybrid Climber with Dark Red Foliage

Philodendron × mandaianum 'Ruby' is a 2014 hybrid between Philodendron erubescens and Philodendron hastatum. This cultivar sets itself apart with striking, dark red stems and petioles, paired with foliage that carries deep red tones seldom seen in climbing philodendrons. Beyond its colour, it is also a robust, forgiving hybrid that adapts easily to a range of indoor conditions.

What makes 'Ruby' distinctive

  • Hybrid parentage: a cross of P. erubescens × P. hastatum, stabilised in 2014.
  • Foliage colour: dark red to burgundy shades overlaying the leaf blades.
  • Stem character: petioles and climbing stems flushed in ruby red.
  • Growth habit: vigorous climbing vine, well suited to poles or trellises.

Background and breeding

The hybrid was originally produced in 2014 and has since become known among collectors as an accessible but visually distinctive philodendron. 'Ruby' builds on the climbing vigor of P. erubescens while integrating the cool-toned strength of P. hastatum, resulting in a compact but colourful foliage plant.

Care guidelines for Philodendron × mandaianum 'Ruby'

  • Light: bright, indirect light brings out the deepest red tones; avoid direct midday sun.
  • Temperature: performs best at 20 – 28 °C; keep above 16 °C for consistent growth.
  • Humidity: 60 – 80% promotes lush foliage and healthy climbing shoots.
  • Watering: water when the upper 2 – 3 cm of substrate dry slightly; do not leave roots waterlogged.
  • Substrate: chunky, airy mix with bark, coco coir, and perlite for drainage and aeration.
  • Feeding: light, regular fertilizer during active growth supports strong colour and leaf size.
  • Support: a moss pole or totem helps leaves enlarge and stems remain upright.
  • Alternative culture: adapts to mineral or semi-hydro substrates with stable moisture levels.

Challenges growers may encounter

  • Pale leaves: often the result of low feeding; increase light fertilization.
  • Leggy stems: indicates insufficient light; move closer to bright filtered exposure.
  • Yellowing foliage: usually caused by excess watering or poorly draining substrate.
  • Pest sensitivity: watch for thrips and spider mites; early inspection is key.

Collector’s perspective

  • Rarity: less common than mainstream red philodendrons, offering a fresh colour profile.
  • Display: foliage colour intensifies when grown against light-coloured or textured backgrounds.
  • Adaptability: easier to care for than many red-foliaged hybrids, suitable for both novices and collectors.
  • Safety: philodendrons are toxic if ingested; keep out of reach of pets and children.

Etymology

Genus:Philodendron (Schott, 1830), from Greek philo- “loving” + dendron “tree,” referencing its climbing habit.Hybrid name:× mandaianum marks the artificial cross; 'Ruby' is the cultivar selected for its dark red colouration.

Propagation and growth potential

  • Cuttings: stem cuttings with 1 – 2 nodes root readily in warm, humid conditions.
  • Medium: sphagnum moss or an airy aroid substrate ensures quick root development.
  • Indoor size: typically 80 – 150 cm when supported; leaves enlarge with age and pole growth.

Why add Philodendron × mandaianum 'Ruby' to your collection

With its striking red stems and dark burgundy foliage, this 2014 hybrid is a standout among climbing philodendrons. Easy-care and highly decorative, Philodendron × mandaianum 'Ruby' offers collectors both bold colour and reliable growth.

Such an Adorable Book
Format: Kindle
This book was one I originally borrowed on Kindle to read to my twin niece and nephew to hopefully help them stop fighting. The book was so adorable, I bought it for Kindle to make sure I always had a copy. While the message is great, treating others with kindness, the illustrations and rhymes are what make it unique. There are some larger words used, but they are all in a clear context to help build vocabulary. The twins loved the farm animals and I actually used the book as part of a lesson on kindness for my Sunday school class who also enjoyed it. Even though I already have the Kindle version, I am ordering paper copies to give as Christmas gifts this year. I love this author, the illustrations, and the message. This is the type of children's book everyone can enjoy and agree on.

A must book for children
Format: Paperback
I got this book 15 years ago at a garage sale and it was one of my kids favorite books of all time. We took it with us everywhere we went (in the car, on vacation etc). My daughter is now in her 20's and she works at a daycare center. She wanted to get some books for their library and when I reminded her of this book she had to get it for them. It has quickly become the classroom favorite, the children ask for her to read it to them daily.
